HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
Consulting from the Raptor Center helps you set goals for your organization, your staff and each ambassador bird in your collection. Once these goals are set, the consulting team provides written recommendations to streamline processes, guide daily work and overcome obstacles with your birds.
Onsite consultation can include observation and feedback for training sessions, evaluation of ambassador birds and staff, enclosure set up and feedback on husbandry practices.
In addition to providing individual hands-on training for staff, the Raptor Center can provide a customized curriculum of classes to dive deeper into specific subjects of interest.
Organizations will come away with a written plan for meeting your goals as well as tools for improving your staff’s skill set and the quality of life of your entire collection.
